- Start EvalView watch mode to automatically re-run regression checks whenever project files change.
Watch Mode
Use this skill when the user wants continuous regression monitoring during development. Watch mode observes file changes and automatically re-runs evalview check with debounced triggers.
What this does
EvalView's watch mode uses watchdog to monitor directories for file changes (.py, .yaml, .yml, .json, .md, .txt, .toml, .cfg, .ini). When a change is detected, it runs a regression check via the gate() API and displays a live scorecard with pass/fail status, score deltas, tool changes, and streak tracking.
How to start watch mode
Watch mode is a CLI command (not an MCP tool). Help the user run it:
evalview watch
Common options
--quick— Skip LLM judge, deterministic checks only ($0 cost, sub-second)--path src/ --path tests/— Watch specific directories (default: current directory)--test "my-test"— Only check a specific test by name--test-dir tests/evalview— Path to test cases directory (default:tests)--interval 1— Debounce interval in seconds (default: 2.0)--fail-on REGRESSION,TOOLS_CHANGED— Comma-separated statuses that count as failure (default: REGRESSION)--sound— Terminal bell on regression
Examples
# Basic: watch everything, full checks
evalview watch
# Fast development loop: no LLM judge, 1-second debounce
evalview watch --quick --interval 1
# Watch specific directories and one test
evalview watch --path src/ --path tests/ --test "calculator-division"
# Strict mode: fail on any behavioral change
evalview watch --fail-on REGRESSION,TOOLS_CHANGED,OUTPUT_CHANGED --sound
Prerequisites
Watch mode requires the watchdog package. If not installed:
pip install evalview[watch]
Notes
- Watch mode excludes
.evalview/,.git/,venv/,node_modules/,__pycache__/, and other common non-source directories automatically. - The initial check runs immediately on startup before watching begins.
- Results include a live scorecard with pass counts, regression counts, health percentage, and streak info.
--quickmode is ideal for tight development loops since it costs nothing and runs in sub-second time.
